Under seat storage boxes

[jaybro187]

maybe daft question but why cant these be fitted with out removing the seats?

 

[nightflight]

they can it's just ridiculously fiddly and you'd need very small arms.
I tried,



and failed

I would agree with Nightflight, it would be extremely fiddly, the holes for the screws are pre drilled and would be awkward to find. It is no hardship to remove the four bolts and tilt the seats back

I imagine these would fit the mk4 as well as the subframes are the same?

 

[jaybro187]

The bit about the air bags goin off has me worried I can see it happenin with me

Disconnect the battery, leave it about 30mins iirc then disconnect the connectors under the seat and it'll be fine

The boxes under my MK4 TDi 130 sport wern't the same as these

Fitted mine didn't bother with the battery and it was fine just don't yank the wires

Sere and David are brilliant got mine fitted them WITHOUT removing seats and I have hands like gorillas

Just ordered these!

I will also order the Lower Glovebox when it comes in!

Thanks guys, will let you know how I get one with the tasks lol!.

The lower Glove box intrigues me .. Is it an additional glove box to the one already fitted ? forgive the stupidity

yes, goes under the dash on the passgner side, HOWEVER, check the the ECU isn't stashed under there as well, causes a small problem!

I fit the two boxes on Saturday with my dad. It's hard to get under to screw the nuts in so we ended up taking the seat bolts out temporarily. Took 20 minutes per seat as instructed. Pleased with the results

 

[apmaman]

where do you get the little screws for the boxes to fit into the seats?

 

[ayc1985]

If you buy from Sere he gives the screws, else the sizes are given above in the OP and can be bought from any hardware shop.

YOu will need to buy the bolt screws off ebay though! (or a hardware shop)

Many thanks for the info and the pictures on this. Just managed to fit one under the passenger seat. Did it without removing the seat bolts, just! Took about half an hour of fiddling blindly under the seat, off to apply to be a gynaecologist now!!

sorry to bring up an old topic. Did anybody else find the screws provided to be the wrong size or an extremely tight fit? Went to fit mine today, and it was erm challenging to say the least
